Old canopies opened in new packs
« on: July 14, 2011, 02:07:30 PM »

I have successfully tested good old mods of 4.09 age for opening canopies of crates not yet included in UP3 RC3 and in DBW Build 1.2 and 1.3. The following canopies work :

All Cobras including P-400.
All P-40,
All LaGG-3s except of LaGG-5,
All Lavochkins except of La-7R

are working when copy/pasted in #DBW folder of DBW Build 1.3, or in #UP folder of UP3 RC3. These old mods can be d/l here:

I regret that I do not remember the names of the modders who created these mods, I hope this would not be considered badly.

Please do not install these into DBW.
(or any other 4.101 install for that matter)

Uzin did send them to me, and I am making new versions for 4.101/DBW. these are 4.09 classes, and I have looked at them, and using them will break some functionalities in the cockpits. I have just looke dthe ussr planes so far, but I will not be surprised to find similar in the other files.

Yet another example of a mod that is "declared" compatible with 4.10 simply because it does not crash the game on startup. Same reason the "mods compatible with 4.101" thread is worse than useless.

Not to mention that, "compatible with 4.101" does also not naturally mean "compatible with UP3 or DBW".  Far from it.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
My apologies.
I hope nobody has any harm of this installation.
Just curious which functionalities are spoiled.
Looking forward to BDW compatible version.

I can remember an example, I think the LaGGs, I found some gauges were fixes in 4.101, both graphically and in classes, which will be broken again , and also some navigational features that were added to the classes in 4.101 which will be broken by the old classes, then of course any mod such as this that edit the body msh will override any POV mod or any other mesh editing the body.
